No, KB for KiloBytes. The K and M are always capitalized. Its the ending
that confuses most people. For example... "I have a 1.5MB DSL connection" This is obviously incorrect, as megabytes is not a quantity used to measure bandwidth. The correct statement would be, " I have a 1.5Mb DSL connection " ... as megabits are indeed a unit of measure used to quantify bandwidth. I have no idea what a small k would be used for... perhaps the measure of calories? kC = kila-calories... just a though. NuTs "... et al." wrote in message s.invalid... NuT CrAcKeR wrote nothing besides: KB... Not MB kB ... Not KB [ or put differently, why is it that most people use just this (binary) prefix with a different case to the normal use of decimal prefixes as used throughout science as per the SI Unit Prefixes endorsed by the International System of Units ? ] -- Please followup in newsgroup. E-mail address is invalid due to spam-control. |
